ABOUT IEEE ANTS

ANTS is the premier IEEE forum on networking and telecommunications topics
in India and the only conference financially sponsored by IEEE
Communications Society. The distinguishing characteristic of IEEE ANTS is
the promotion of an intense dialogue between academia and industry to bridge
the gap between academic research, industry initiatives and governmental
policies. This is fostered through panel discussions, keynotes, invited
talks and industry exhibits where academia is exposed to state-of-practice
and results from trials and interoperability experiments. The industry in
turn benefits by exposure to leading-edge research in networking as well as
the opportunity to communicate with academic researchers regarding practical
problems that require further research.

SCOPE

We are witnessing a paradigm shift in networking where the end user demands
and cloud computing based service paradigms are influencing evolving network
architectures, system designs and service delivery models. Over-the-Top
(OTT) players, consumer electronic vendors, IT providers and 3rd party
software developers have entered the service delivery value chain fostering
an open environment challenging the hegemony of traditional network
operators. IT & Telecom, hitherto distinct domains, are now spoken of as ICT
(Information and Communications Technologies) symbolizing the close
inter-working of these disciplines in the emerging service delivery
architectures. Different vertical industries such as energy utilities,
health-care, automotive, banking & finance, retail, media entertainment are
leveraging network technologies in innovative ways to offer branded services
directly or in partnership with network providers. Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
and Internet of Things (IoT) have opened new vistas for communications and
networking technologies.

IEEE ANTS 2013 will feature a rich industry program comprising of keynote
addresses, invited talks and panel discussions to complement a high quality
technical program of peer-reviewed papers, tutorials, and Ph.D. student
forum presentations bringing together experts from industry, academia and
government. The conference will provide an exciting meeting ground for the
confluence and exchange of ideas among participants from all over the world.

A subset of the accepted papers will be considered for special issues of
journals including the Springer Photonic Network Communications Journal.

IEEE ANTS 2013 will feature both long (6-page) and short (3-page) papers in
three broad areas.  Authors are strongly encouraged to address topics of
interest to both industry and academia, focusing on (but not limited to) the
following thrust areas:

1. Wireline Networks (including topics such as):

Cloud and data center networks
Software-Defined Networks
Core network architectures and protocols Metro and access networks Optical
communications and networking Architectures for high-performance router and

IMPORTANT DATES
* NEW Full Paper Submission Deadline : June 16, 2013
* Paper Acceptance Notification : August 1, 2013
* Final Paper Submission Deadline : September 8, 2013
* Early bird registration deadline : September 8, 2013
* Conference: November 20-22, 2013

SCOPE
Once limited to the computing world ? specifically, to data centres -
energy efficiency has become an issue in telecommunication networks in
the recent years, mainly owing to two reasons: the increased attention
to environmental aspects, and the growing operational expenditure (OPEX)
of Telcos and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Great attention is
currently dedicated to energy-efficient ?green? networking in both wired
and wireless scenarios. A number of techniques have been identified and
are continuously being consolidated and improved to reduce the energy
consumption in networking equipment, while maintaining at the same time
a desired level of Quality of Service (QoS) ? and, ultimately, of
Quality of Experience (QoE) in the users? perception ? in dependence of
the actual carried traffic load. The range of possible actions spans
from the design aspects (re-engineering of both silicon and network
architecture to reduce complexity) to the on-line operation at small and
large time scales (dynamic adaptation of devices? energy
consumption-performance trade-off and ?smart sleeping? techniques).
While Green Networking is pacing to become a mature bulk of
technologies, many aspects still need to be investigated to harmonize
its presence in the complex scenario of the Future Internet.

TOPICS
This ITC Specialist Seminar aims at providing a forum for discussion of
timely and relevant aspects concerning wired and wireless green
networks. Contributions are solicited on all advanced research issues in
this respect, and particularly (but not limited to) on the following
topics:
* Energy consumption / performance trade-off
* Control and optimization techniques applied to green networking
* Network virtualization technologies for energy efficiency
* Device- and network-level energy optimization
* Applications of dynamic adaptation techniques (Low Power Idle and
Adaptive Rate)
* Energy-aware routing
* Green extensions to Traffic Engineering protocols and techniques
* End-to-end energy efficiency
* Energy-aware cross-layer and cross-platform techniques
* Modelling and optimization of energy consumption on network-attached
hosts
* Networking for green data centres
* Virtual and green base stations in wireless mobile networks
* Caching techniques for green data-intensive applications
* Interaction between green power sources and green networks
* Energy-aware performance models and metrics
* Data- and Control-Plane interaction for the implementation of
energy-efficient control strategies
* Energy efficient Content Delivery networks and Content Centric networks
* Energy awareness for network users
* Green Networking governance
* Disruptive approaches in energy-aware networking

The conference will feature also a Special Session on Smart Grid
Communications, see its Call-for-Papers at
